Anorexia/Bulimia

[Bacone Cap]

I'm still great friends with my ex girlfriend. She told me today that her 14 year old cousin (birthday was in October) has Anorexia and Bulimia. She got cut from her 9th grade volleyball team in September (when she was 13) because her coach told her she was too big. She comes from a big family. Her dad is a 6'4" Chinese guy who played lineman at SFA and her mom is a solid 5'9" tennis player. She is naturally a big boned girl. She cannot help this nor will it ever change when she is healthy.

I saw her tonight for the first time in a little over a year. She is 5'8" and a proud 102 lbs, down from around mid 140's (if I had to guess). She is emaciated and it makes me sick to see her like this. She is a beautiful girl with a wonderful heart.

I ask you, fellow hornfans posters/lurkers, for all the prayers you can spare. She doesn't realize what she is doing to herself.

Prayers and thoughts out to her and my thanks go out to you.

I pray see can get the help see needs this is a deadly disease but if caught in time can keep it from resulting in life long health complications.

I wish people would stop telling children they are too big or getting fat when it's not yet a serious health problem meaning they are not really overweight.
